A Formal Introduction

[Jeff T]

Now that I have posted a few qestions and a few responses to other threads, I figure that is time I formally post an introduction. I would normally do this first thing, but I didn't have a digital camera until a few weeks ago and I didn't see the point unless I could post pics.

Anyway, my name is Jeff and I picked up my 05 22v in August in Lewisville, TX. It had 36 hours on the clock when I bought it. It now has 55. I am a first time boat owner with a lot to learn. But I will say that I absolutely love my Tige and I wouldn't want to start anywhere else.

I live in NW Arkansas, so when we are on the water, we are on Beaver lake. Unfortunately, I don't have lake pics.

My Formal Introduction

How funny. We're in the same boat so to speak. I've been running around for months trying to find time to post pics of our Tige'. From one newbie to another - welcome to the Tige' family.

[Jeff T]

I was just thinking the same thing! Welcome!! Our digital camera broke about the time that we bought the boat. I've been wanting to post an intro for months now.

Hi Jeff,

Looks great!


I really love the homes in the back as well.. Here in the Left coast of Canada, brick is rare, very nice looking!

Awesome boat and welcome

Jeff,
Welcome! It's great to see all these new boats on the forum. Classic colors. Congratulations on being a new boat owner. Way to go straight to the top. Most boat owners start out in smaller round abouts. I look forward to hearing more from you and seeing pictures of where you boat.

I hear you......brick=bentley in my neck of the woods

Sweet boat...I love the colors and welcome to the Tige' family

we are on Beaver lake

I absolutely love the name of your lake...BEAVER NATION....sorry USC fans...

Thanks everyone! I know it sound cliche, but pictures really don't do this boat justice. In fact, I found the boat online (boat trader) and it was 5 hours away from me. Based on the pictures, I was only partially interested because I'm a big fan of bold colors (red, orange, etc.) I got laid over in dallas (4 hours), so I left the airport and took a cab over to where the boat was. I fell in love as soon as I saw it. I had money in hand less than a week later.

Also, this may sound like a silly question, but what kind of tower do I have.

SWEET RIDE bro, welcome to the forum.

1st off, Nice Boat. you will enjoy it.

Welcome to the forum!

Your tower is a Tige Tower.

Great story and great looking boat! Welcome to the site.

Jeff T- Welcome to the site. Great looking boat, I really like the grey. I am also familiar with Beaver Lake, my parents live in Rogers and we have gone there the last two summers.

I did...from Chris Coleman. He brokered the boat from the owner...who purchased it from S.S. He is an awesome guy and was incredibly patient. First time boat owner making a purchase from 5 hours away = TONS of questions.
